An interview with the artist: Terry Arena
In 2007 I took a year- long sabbatical from my job as a high school art teacher and went back to school for my master’s at CSU, Northridge. I think in helping my students prepare portfolios for college I became inspired to take a risk and expand my own experience. It was a scary decision for me financially, to not have a “real” income for a year, but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
